Phantom Pregnancy?

One of my un-neutered females built a nest yesterday, she was using hay and pulling out her fur. I have noticed pink marks on her white fur as well. After she built it she sat in it for a while making whimpering noises then just carried on as normal. Is it normal to see pink urine? I'm getting so paranoid I think I even saw one of my bucks with the same thing!
 
was the urine orange/red colour? this can be pigment form food such as rose leaves or dandilions(high protein foods basically) however if it wasnt then take to a vet asap x
 
Yes it was. She seems fine now, no more urine that colour. I just thought it was odd behaviour, building a nest. She hasn't gone near it since.

This is quite normal for an un neutered doe to build a nest:)she will carry on doing this so it would be best to get her speyed:)as sometimes they become aggressive while "nesting":cry:
If you also have un neutered bucks then you are risking a real pregnancy:shock:
 
I'm going to get them spayed when they are 6 months. Male is not housed with them. What's putting me off is we only have one vet in our area who doesn't have much experience of spaying, but I know I will have to get them done.
